Beverly Hills poetry contest

meet the grand winner, Missy!

As with so many boy-bands, All-4-U too seem sprung from the loins of Apollo in the heavens above.
But they actually came together in spectacular Hollywood, California. The year is 1998, the place, a small gas station on the corner of internationally famous Sunset Boulevard and the somewhat-lesser-known La Brea Avenue. Rod had just come in to phone his parents to come pick him up, because he couldn't take the bus due to the scary guy living in the bus stop who demanded that, in exchange for letting Rod wait for the bus, Rod must bring him a bag of pistachios. Troy, fresh off a greyhound bus from Iowa with stars in his eyes and a spring in his step, was trying to charm the attendant into letting him use the station restroom, though he had not purchased any gas. Sean, fresh from his release from a maximum-security correctional facility, was in the middle of an incoherent, drunken tirade (aimed at no one in particular) concerning the outrageous cost of filling up his 1973 Camaro. As fate would have it, Dietrich was the attendant on duty, and the moment he noticed the four magnetic, dynamic personalities united in that small room, he knew they had something special. Instantly, despite speaking almost no English, he suggested starting a boy band. After sustaining a quick but savage beating by Sean, everyone loved the idea, and the rest is etched in the annals of music history.....

Dietrich "Wuzz-Wuzz" Heugenschnotz

1.        Where did you get your nickname?

I got my name back in the Old Country, when I was still just a rentboy living in a Munich train station. Herr Baron Von Ueberflicker, a prominent member of the local aristocracy, always referred to me by a "secret name" so that our business dealings would never be known by the bigoted Bavarian uppercrust.

2.        If you were a fruit, what would you be?

A kiwi 'cause, like a kiwi, I'm full of green goop.

3.       What was your favorite subject in school?

I really liked lunch. I think I was really good at it, too, ‘cause the table monitor always singled me out to sit in front of the cafeteria.

4.    What was the last book you read?

The last book I read was "Emmanuel Erasmus Schlitterdamm's Neat and Accurate Treatise on the Ethics and Mechanics of Proverbial Motion, as Applied to Post-Newtonian World Ethos."

5.     How do you describe your music?

It's good because it's playful and happy. It makes you feel all squishy inside and I like girls, especially ones who buy this album. I (heart) all of U!

6.     If you were a character on a WB show, who would you be?

I would be Tamara from "Sister Sister," because we have the same wardrobe.

7.     Do you have a girlfriend/what do you look for?

I have a girlfriend named Ilse. She's a simple goatherder in my small village back in the Old Country. I like women who do not wear very much, but also have enormous breasts.

8.     What are the best/worst things about the music industry?

The worst thing about the music industry is that it is run by Satan. The best thing is that you get free jell-o.

9.      What do you like to do on a cold winter day?

I like to make a snowman with the woman that I love. Then, I like to hide in a bunker and wait for the Poles to invade.

"Shout-out":

I would like to shout out a big "hey" to my dear old mother Gretchen, my father Dietrich Sr., my sisters Helga, Hedwig, Hesper, Hermina, Heidi, and Judy, my old music teacher Wolfgang Flutentuten, Elsa the Lesbian Nazi bitch, Good Old "Ueberflicky" for helping me through that painful first year, and Ilse for holding my chicken while I am in America.




Sean “Tiny” Lazarus

1.       Where did you get your nickname?
Uhhh…a very bitter, vindictive ex-girlfriend. I don’t really like to talk about it.

2.       If you were a fruit, what would you be?
What’s a really manly, seductive, yet non-threatening fruit? The pomegranate? Ok, the pomegranate
.

3.       What was your favorite subject in school?

I didn’t go to school. I was educated in the school of Hard Knocks and got my degree from Ass-whuppin’ University, with honors. Where I came from you didn’t get hit by a ruler, you hit the ruler first, know what I mean? And you hit it HARD, or else it’s coming right back at’cha.

4.       What was the last book you read?

Only book I know is the old wet phonebook I used as a pillow when I slept out on the streets, the mean streets, know what I’m sayin’ dawg?! Ain’t got no education, I’m a self-made man. I taught myself all I know by reading dirty magazines, labels on canned soup and hemorrhoid medication.

5.       How do you describe your music?

Pretty darn tootin’. I definitely think we’re on to something new and totally original, not like all those OTHER boy bands that are out there and keep ripping off us and our new and totally original style. I definitely try to be new and totally original in my work, and I feel the same is true of all my boyz in the band-they like to be new and totally original as well.

6.       If you were a character on a WB show, who would you be?

Don’t know the WB, how about someone from B.E.T.?

7.       Do you have a girlfriend/what do you look for?

Yes-I look for a sense of humor. We have a little game we play with each other. First, I run up to her house, ring the bell and run away. Then, she gets a restraining order. Next, I run up to her house again and ring the bell, then run away again. Then she gets another, far more stringent restraining order. Finally I ring her bell and run again, then I spend a few months in jail. As soon as I get out, we do it all over again-it’s so cute!

8.       What are the best/worst things about the music industry?

First, if we sing or dance poorly one night, our manager Barmak forces us to eat raw mice until we do better. The bad part is when the media writes horrible, untrue things about us (like Troy’s continuing battle with various types of unidentifiable rashes).

9.       What do you like to do on a cold winter day?

Just be myself and not pay attention to what other people think.

Roderick “Little Rod” Newcastle

1.        Where did you get your nickname?
It’s funny, my mom used to call me that when she would give me a bath as a kid. Then, in middle school, the guys in the locker room during gym would call me the same thing, which is strange, since I never told them my mom called me that. And I’m not like a short guy or anything

2.        If you were a fruit, what would you be?

NOT an apple Macs suck!! :-)

3. What was your favorite subject in school?

Duh. Computers

4. What was the last book you read?

“A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking

5. How do you describe your music?

The digital definition of love 0s and 1s to move your heart, and your booty (lol!)

6. If you were a character on a WB show, who would you be?

That alien dude on "Roswell"–like me, he thinks more logically than humans and is not ruled by his animal urges

7. Do you have a girlfriend/what do you look for?

Right now I am single. I look for a girl who can type fast

8. What are the best/worst things about the music industry?

best thing = new technology, worst = old records and 8 tracks analog–YUCK!!

9. What do you like to do on a cold winter day?

To warm up, I like to enter Hell and battle demons in a nice game of Ultima IX

Troy "the Heartland Hottie"

1.        Where did you get your nickname?
My dad used to yell it at me as he pushed me from his moving car.

2.        If you were a fruit, what would you be?
I'd be a steak

3. What was your favorite subject in school?
My favorite subject was Calculus, but the teacher's said I was too "special" to actually enroll in the class.

4. What was the last book you read?
I don't really read, but I do attempt the mazes on the backs of cereal boxes

5. How do you describe your music?
I'd say it was a cross between Led Zeppelin and Tori Spelling.

6. If you were a character on a WB show, who would you be?
I'd be the old, proud black woman on the Wayans' show, cause that kind of thing turns me on.

7. Do you have a girlfriend/what do you look for?
I like to say that mother earth is my girlfriend. I love you girl!

8. What are the best/worst things about the music industry?
I think the best thing is hot asses. While the worst thing has to be the big asses.

9. What do you like to do on a cold winter day?
I don't like to think about that kind of thing.
